I got the recipe from the Joy Of Cooking. I double it:

3.5 cups white sugar
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
2 cups cream (NO guar gum or crap like that!)
2 sticks butter

Cook to 310F. Slowly stir and turn UP the heat as the syrup gets above
about 240F. Must keep it hot enough not to begin to crystallize, hence
the stirring to keep it from sticking/burning/boiling over. I always
use a gas stove too, had bad results on electric stoves.

Once at 310F, turn off heat, let stop boiling, stir in:

2 tsp real vanilla
1 tsp real almond

(enjoy boiling vanilla+almond as you stir it in!)

Pour onto buttered marble slab. Partially cool and score into grid.
Cool further then break into pieces, and cover in milk chocolate.
